Pediatric Chiropractic in Penticton

doctor adjusting patients armAs the spine grows, it is crucial to ensure it is growing properly. There are only specific windows of time where certain spinal conditions can be corrected. Once a particular development phase passes, some conditions are more difficult to heal or reverse.

That is one of many reasons pediatric chiropractic care at Okanagan Chiropractic Center can be a vital and beneficial tool for a child’s current and future health.

What Type of Pediatric Patients Do We See?

Just as they are with adults, Dr. Berry and Dr. Kornelsen are passionate about the positive effects of regular chiropractic care. While every child can benefit from chiropractic adjustments, most pediatric patients we see are either involved in sports or battling a condition like scoliosis.

Most kids we see who are involved in recreational or high-level sports seek this care to ensure their spine and body are working optimally for their performance. The type of athletes we care for varies, from hockey and soccer players to dance and ballet competitors. True to Penticton’s outdoor culture, we also care for many ski racers.

Enjoy a Family-Friendly Environment

Whether you and your child are excited or hesitant about chiropractic care, you will feel the positive, family-friendly environment as soon as you arrive at Okanagan Chiropractic Center. As a parent, you will fill out paperwork, including information on family medical history, that sets the stage for a productive conversation with Dr. Berry or Dr. Kornelsen. One of the doctors will then take both parent and child back into a room, where the three of you go over everything together.

Some pediatric patients have a specific complaint or concern, while others are just there for a spine and nervous system check-up. If there are misalignments, the doctor will likely use the low-force Activator Technique, but some easy hands-on adjustments may be given, too, depending on the child’s age.
